Your Website Does Not Matter (If AI Can’t Explain What You Do)

The Problem
Buyers aren’t visiting websites first anymore—they’re asking AI for recommendations. If AI can’t clearly explain what you do, you’re invisible.

The Shift
Old buyer journey: Google → compare tabs → bookmark → research later
New buyer journey: Ask AI → get 3 recommendations → visit THOSE websites
If you’re not in AI’s top 3, your website never gets seen.

What Makes You Invisible to AI
❌ Messy positioning – “We help businesses grow”
❌ Vague offers – “Consulting and strategic services”
❌ Complicated funnels – Lead magnets, webinars, multi-step processes
AI needs clear inputs. If it can’t find them, it skips you.

The Fix: Clear Beats Clever
Bad (vague):
“Welcome to Smith Consulting. Full-service advisory with 20 years experience.”
Good (clear):
“Smith Consulting helps manufacturing companies reduce operational costs 15-30% through 90-day process optimization.”

This Week’s Homework
1 Ask AI about yourself – “What does [your company] do?” See if it’s accurate
2 Simplify your homepage – First 3 sentences must be 12-year-old clear
3 Add specifics – Who you serve, problem solved, outcomes, timeline

The Bottom Line
AI recommends businesses it can confidently explain. Get clear now = massive competitive advantage.
Clear > Clever
Specific > Vague
